This is how it all started…
When I was a little girl living in Illinois, I dreamed of having a place of my own to raise animals and let my kids run wild. By and by, I began homeschooling my kids and we sought to create a wholesome and educational lifestyle. When my family moved to Petersburg in 2022 we fell in love with the warm and welcoming town. After we settled in to our new home, I set up a coop and started with a handful of chickens. Our flock has since grown to include Jumbo Quail.
Living in the maritime rain-forest of Southeast Alaska comes with a a unique set of advantages and challenges. In my Backyard Blog I aim to share with you the tips and hints I have gained from my supportive community and my own personal experiences.
Thanks for visiting my spanking new website. Please pardon the dust while I get my ideas out, and check back for tons of new blog posts geared toward life in the Southeast!
